CELEBRATING 25 YEARS AT BERKELEY
The Arts Research Center acts as a hub and a meeting place, a space for reflection where artists, scholars, curators, and civic arts leaders from a variety of disciplines can gather and learn from one another. ARC serves as an incubator for new research and artistic experimentation, as a nexus for faculty, students, and art professionals, and as an advocate that champions the arts on and off campus.
